The number is right and not exaggerated.

NZone in New Zealand used to hold the record with some 460 ish tandems per day if I remember right.
In 2017 we (I was one of the TI's) broke the record in Mexico with 467 on Saturday and 480 ish on Sunday (just before or after XMas) with 3 planes and 30 odd instructors.
At the same time one year later in 2018 they did 501 with 3 planes and 30 odd instructors.

Thanks for the reply. That seems to be punctual. Was rather asking for regular « average high ». 
 

500 a day is very impressive though. But how do they average over the year ? Even half of that number daily would be absolutely massive 

Have you found your solution? This is the best brake setting system in my opinion. 
in case you need, I can help you with it n

Mandatory thoughts and prayers? Or just the mention of thoughts and prayers on the house floor together with the wish for more good people with guns?

Well the shooter should qualify for “good guy with a gun”. Shooting instructor, army reservist.

Hi Joe,

Whenever I read something like this, I think:  Just how in hell do you then support Trump?

Only the true Messiah denies his divinity. 

Hey Vallerina, I seem to recall a Leg Lamp avatar. Am I completely wrong ?

The windows from which Putin's opponents fall are getting much higher.

Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin falls from the sky.

Putin is kind of funny. He just declared that some people on the plane were either drunk or high, and set off a hand grenade.

I almost choked on a chicken bone

They could dig canals from Murmansk and from Vladivostok  to the Black Sea. That would probably be a 2 weeks Special Digging Operation. 

Florida man … ‘nuff said

If you want to know what can be done, read the wiki article about the shootings that happened in Serbia 2 weeks ago (specifically the “aftermath “ section)

Hi, in order to limit the trolling, could we implement a maximum post per day per person? Like a 10 posts max in the same forum ?

Hi Jerry,

We are past this level already. Nuts is not enough.

And I didn't see the word "gun" anywhere in the Second Amendment.  So much for the right to own guns.

Have a nice day!

Just like any other country and bank system actually. Nothing to be proud of either. 
 

banks

insurance companies 

pharma

weapons industry

 The list goes on. Find a way to make money, get any system corrupted.

A good psychiatrist 

How many good 24/7 psychiatrists do you reckon would be needed ? A good psychiatrist would mean 1. Given the frequency of such occurrence in the US, 1 would probably not be enough. 

I wonder why they missile down those things. They should cannon/gun them down, would make for a slower fall and ease the research of the bits and pieces. 

Not 2nd amendment as it was in Brasil, and turned out to be a rather surprising Darwin Award…

a Brazilian lawyer, advocating for gun carrying, went to assist his mother for an MRI. After receiving instructions to remove all metal objects, he failed to remove his gun. When the MRI machine was turned on, the magnetic field somewhat actioned the gun and shot him. Despite being quickly treated, he died a couple of days later.

What pandemic? I thought it was a scam. 

I enjoyed the images, but the story was soooo boring and predictable. Just like Maverick.

So a six year old in Newport News, VA, exercizing his 2nd Amendment rights, shot his teacher and is now in police custody.

Only in America.

Either he was part of a well regulated militia, or his parents deserve jail time 

Sad to read that Our Jarno has apparently had a fatal accident. 
 

I do not have the details yet, but the whole video/wingsuit/BASE/skydiving community has lost one of the good ones. 

Beware of 2023
